Races ORM Tokyo City Keiba - JAP

Unwanted and safely held behind Mesmerise last start. Has placed at the trip, but the maiden record makes this a stern task.

Recent form is poor, with heavy defeats at both latest runs. Past track form is not enough on current figures.

Nearly pinched it at big odds behind Mesmerise and beat key rivals in that race. Maiden record is the query, but he is right in this.

Beaten a neck as favourite after a soft COND win. Consistent profile keeps him in the placing mix.

Caught the eye late behind Mesmerise and now reaches third-up. Proven at this track and distance, so he has a strong each-way case.

Resumed with a strong two-length win as favourite and owns a sharp track-and-distance record. Clear top chance with the right form.

Freshened since a heavy Mombetsu defeat. Class drop helps, but she has to reverse a plain recent pattern.

Back after eight months and resumes off well-held C1 form. Maiden record and poor track-distance figures are against him.

Only just over two lengths off Mesmerise and has reliable track-and-distance form. More a place hope than a dominant win play.

Last run was poor after a better second two back. Longstanding maiden record keeps her hard to recommend.

Runner-up twice as odds-on favourite and now returns to a distance where he is unplaced. Honest, but the win query remains.

Favourite when fourth behind Mesmerise after a B4 win at Mombetsu. Has the form to bounce back strongly.

Track-and-distance record is solid and weight relief helps, but recent runs have been well below what is required.

Two strong 1400m placings and Tsubasa Sasagawa has a good record on him. The 1200m record keeps him to place claims.
